Northern Colorado softball scores twice in the bottom of the seventh, rallies for 4-3 win over North Dakota


The Northern Colorado softball team scored twice in the bottom of the seventh against North Dakota, rallying for a 4-3 win Saturday in Lincoln, Nebraska, and its ninth win in 12 games on the spring-break trip.

UNC (15-16) started the bottom of the seventh trailing the Fighting Hawks 3-2 at the University of Nebraska’s Bowlin Stadium.

Quinn Myers-Lenz drew a lead-off walk from North Dakota pitcher Jackie Albrecht. After a strike out to Amailee Morales, Ella Gonzales walked and Myers-Lenz went to second.

Sabrina Javorsky tied the game at 3-3 with a single to the right side of the field, scoring Myers-Lenz. Javorsky had two of UNC’s five hits with two RBI.

Katie Thomson, pinch-running for Gonzales, went to third on an Ali Steinker single to right and scored the game-winning run on an error by North Dakota right fielder Mariah Peters.

UNC wraps up its 13-game trip Sunday morning against host University of Nebraska. The teams split their two previous games in Lincoln on the UNC trip. UNC beat the Cornhuskers 5-3 Tuesday and lost to Nebraska 6-5 Thursday.

The Bears committed six errors against North Dakota. The Fighting Hawks (5-26) committed two errors, leading to one unearned run for UNC. Both teams scored twice in the third inning. North Dakota went ahead 3-2 in the top of the fourth.

UNC senior pitcher Erin Caviness (8-5) earned the win in two innings of relief of starter Isabelle DiNapoli. Caviness didn’t give up a hit and struck out four with no walks.

DiNapoli allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits with five strikeouts and three walks in five innings.

Homemade canoe returns to Fur Traders Rendezvous at the ND State Fair


MINOT, N.D. (KMOT) – One of the highlights of every North Dakota State Fair is the Fur Traders Rendezvous.

A familiar face returned this year, along with a canoe he made at the fair several years ago.

The rendezvous brings fairgoers back to the time of the fur traders.

Those who take part in the rendezvous live, and even sleep, on the grounds for the duration of the fair.

Jeremy Duckwitz, who is referred to as the ‘brain tanner,’ said he carved a canoe out of a giant log back in 2016.

He said it took him all nine days of the fair, working eight hours a day to carve it.

He brought the canoe back to the fair this year to seal the cracks with his team and have it on display.

“This year I got around to sealing all the cracks with beeswax. There was a larger crack we sealed with pine pitch and wood shavings, and then the rest of it’s all linseed oil so it’s all ready to float down the Missouri River,” said Duckwitz.

Duckwitz said he plans on taking the canoe out on the river in the coming weeks.

The rendezvous is across from the state fair center on the north end of the grounds.

They’ll be open through Saturday.
